In reply to the sheep: If we are talking about climbers rather than UKC personell then I suppose Chris Brasher has to go up there being an Olympic gold medal winner and pacing the first ever 4 min mile.
Ok here's anothe one, and I know the answer to this and it's not Brian Blessed, who is the best climbing full time actor from the UK?

In reply to Al Evans: I would have done the first ascent of Regent Street at Millstone but Terry beat me to it by about 10 minutes. If only we hadn't had a cooked breakfast in order to gird up our loins. I haven't seen him in nearly 40 years.

Hi Al
A late reply to the running thread. Actually I usually beat Pete at cross country/fell running [remember the Lakes Karrimor?] But for a running climber; Bob Toogood, WORLD vets 10K road champ!! The first time Bob went "proper" running was at Pete,s moving in party at Malham, where Bob "trollied" him when we went for a run over the fells. Pete didn,t believe Bob had never run competitively. Pete was however a fantastic all round athlete, climber, caver, paddler and I miss him and his tales, scheming and innuendos. Fantastic bloke!
